I just rooted my OP7P(OOS103.5). It's been like 5 years since I last rooted a phone, so I have a few questions that may sound dumb and may be repetitive to y'all.
From what I can tell Magisk is today's Xposed, but it has way less modules. Xposed had hundreds? Thousands?
Should I be using EdXposed as a module source instead of Magisk? Where's the best place to go looking for modules?
Should I have a busybox installed at all times or is that just for specific things?
What's a good adblocker?
What's a good debloater?
What modules do you use and find essential?
Sorry for asking questions that have probably already been asked, but many thanks to anyone who bothers answering!
You can use both
Magisk is today's SuperSU, so it grants root access to the applications who request it using a toast notification (where you can allow/decline access)
You can also install modules systemlessly in Magisk (instead of flashing a .zip in TWRP, you install it in Magisk)
For instance, you can install EdXposed in Magisk, then you can install all the Xposed modules you want through EdXposed manager.

I have rooted my OP6 using the following guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76633618&postcount=70
I have Magisk manager installed (obviously as part of the rooting process).
I see a list of available Magisk modules in Magisk manager. Similar modules are also available for the Xposed framework.
My question is : What's the benefit of installing Xposed framework and then Xposed modules v. installing similar Magisk modules using Magisk manager? I am new to Magisk but have used Xposed modules in the past.
Thank You!
Magisk will keep SafetyNet passing, so if you using Android Pays and others apps that require SafetyNet to pass, Magisk is only option...

After two years being stuck on an unrooted phone (Huawei), I'm thrilled to have everything working on OP7 x TWRP x Magisk.
On several threads I have read suggestions of Xposed modules that could be interesting, and saw that @topjohnwu published a thread with an Xposed installer apk and Xposed module for Magisk, which sounds amazing.
My question is: on OnePlus, does this work well, or would it be asking for trouble? The last thing I want now that everything is working is to make a wrong move that gets me into boot loops.
Also, if this is confirmed to work well, I see that there are several Xposed modules in the Magisk download section.
Is it "Xposed Framework, v90-beta3 created by rovo89"? Or the Tai Chi one, or the Riru ones?
Thanks for any advice!
Use edxposed, no problems so far for me
My biggest question is with Snapchat. I've read people getting banned because of using Xposed (even if no Snapchat specific module's are used).
Can anyone confirm or deny this? I just want to use it for a couple of modules like Amplify.
Its a bad idea! Snapchat thinks you use 3rd party app... Been locked out 3 times now...
In case this can help someone else, I should let you know that trying to install the "Xposed Framework v90-beta3 by rovo89" from inside Magisk has brought me a lot of heartaches (boot loop, factory reset, still struggling to get a stable system back).
Maybe the problem is not related to that module specifically, but here is what happened. It seemed to install, but when I looked at it in the "Modules" section, every section said "unknown". So I flagged it for deletion, and on reboot the phone entered a boot loop.
I tried to uninstall the module via mm, but it didn't show. So I uninstalled Magisk via Magisk-Uninstall in TWRP. The phone booted, but when I reinstalled Magisk, the boot loop restarted.
Since then, I have done two factory resets: one via the basic TWRP "Wipe", one via OOS / Settings / System. Each time, some files from before are left on the SD card. I thought that the problem was solved, but after two hours working to set up the phone (not downloading Magisk modules, just Apps from the Play Store), I got a new boot loop. Luckily this time I had done a backup. But will be looking for a way to do a more "aggressive" factory reset.
Anyhow, maybe I installed the wrong Xposed, but thought I'd share my experience.

That isn't edexposed and isn't supported on pie

Thank you!
Will try edexposed on the next install, after backing up.
Ha, looking in Magisk / Downloads / Search / Xposed, I see two versions of EdXposed:
- Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta(4463) (SandHook)
- Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta(4463) (YAHFA)
Which one for OP7: SandHook, or YAHFA?
Thanks in advance.

Either. I used YAHFA with no issues for what i needed. Then i tried SandHook out of curiosity and found no difference.
Asking for trouble
Thank you both.
After TWRP backup, installed edexposed which involved three steps:
- riru exexposed core module (in Magisk)
- riru edexposed module by yahfa (Magisk)
- edexposed installer app (from GitHub)
EdXposedInstaller_v2.2.4-release.apk
https://github.com/solohsu/XposedInstaller/releases
System rebooted, SafetyNet status OK in Magisk.
As far as y'all know is this list of modules known to work on OP7?
Wouldn't even know where to start… But curious.
Edit: when I went to do a new Backup, the TWRP menu was unusual (it asked new questions about modifying the system). Decided to backpedal and restore to before exposed installation.
In the end, I just don't know enough to understand what risks I'm taking. In the hands of an expert user, it's probably safe, in mine, it's asking for trouble.
Hi,
My question is simple, what is the difference between Xposed and EdXposed, and if there is a way to install it without loosing safety net.
My phone is a Oneplus 7 with android 10.
Thanks and best wishes for the new year!
EdXposed Framework allows to install XPosed Framework on devices running Android 10, Pie, and Oreo .
EdXposed requires your device must be rooted with Magisk v20.2+
By means of MagiskHide you can prevent SafetyNet's hardware attestion will fail.

Latest SafetyNet version not only checks for Android got rooted but also for device's bootloader got unlocked. The problem for John Wu - developer of Magisk - is that the new key attestation workflow now is hardware-based, and the code is sent by OEM to Google's server. May be some day he will find a solution ... it's unlikely that MagiskHide will be able to alter the key or intercept the transmission, IMHO.
Resume: Until then SafetyNet works as expected by OEMs and app developers, who have an interest in having an unmodified Android.
To add, you could try magisk module MHPC (Magisk Hide Props Config) which is what you'd use to modify device fingerprint and other system props.
The particular features in MHPC you may want to use which MIGHT get SafetyNet to pass are the Device Simulation and Force Basic Attestation. Combined, along with setting a similar device's fingerprint as long as that selected device isn't designed with hardware attestation, could be enough to fool SN. EdXposed coupled with Magisk's own Hide feature to hide themselves from GSF, GPS, Gpay, etc, should prove successful. The issue lies mostly with which order the software is installed and hidden, sometimes with rebooting being absolutely essential between certain steps. It really is a trial and error process.

Turn Off Edxposed module from magisk download and install LSposed apk install it...Goto magisk and download module Riru LSposed...reboot your phone... That's It Check your safety net.... Dont forget to off or remove Edxposed module or any other xposed enhanced framework module you using...lemme know if it worked for you...
Hi all,
Am on Android 10 and phone has the latest TWRP, Magisk and busy box. In Magisk the Ramdisk is a YES. Titanium can disable internal apps no problem and seemingly uninstall them but after restarting the phone those apps re-appear. Also, though the latest MixPlorer and Root Explorer can edit/change Mixer_Paths, the original values come back after restarting the phone.
Can anyone advise how to solve this mystery.
Thanks in advance.
A10 and later , doesn't allow changing system files you need to do this via a magisk module systemless.

Thanks for that. I googled 'magisk module systemless' but it came up with loads of different things. Not sure what I should look for.
Use the magisk module Debloater from magisk repo, you also need BusyBox module and Termux app from playstore.

Much appreciated. Cheers
All,
I've been fighting with this for a while and I swear that I'm doing everything right (at least, I think I am).
Here's what I'm running:
1. euro build
2. magisk 23.0 (canary build)
I go through the setup, oem unlock and reboot again. I always run into a problem with magisk patched img and safety net failing.
The threads out there have gotten too thick and off-topic with folks asking for other stuff unrelated to the task at hand. I'm beyond confused with all the threads and need a clean and cohesive approach. Again, people, I need a better direction on this. No one-liners and smart ass answers.
Thank you to those that respond with a solid tutorial. Go layman if need be. =)
Magisk is dropping support for hiding root access from apps
Magisk, the popular Android rooting tool, will continue to be developed by topjohnwu, but without its root hiding feature called MagiskHide.
www.xda-developers.com
I recommend following this YouTube tutorial step by step. Also, The Magisk 23.0 build STILL has MagiskHide at the moment, so you may want to enable that.
TL;DR, you'll have to install Riru, LSposed, and XPrivacyLua and their respective magisk modules. While the video showed how to pass SafetyNet and get Google Play "Device is Certified", you can implement the same processes to ANY app having issues with root.

Once again: Everything that counts is money!
There will be other devs presenting solutions for root and hiding root so that we won't need Magisk any longer.
Until then I'll stay with 23.0
